Manic Monday--Springtime For Hitler

What is that, you say? I've spent too much time dwelling on 1970's era Batman lately? As if one could ever spend too much time on that.

Still, it is time to move on for awhile. What should we do, what should we do??

I know--how about a classic WWII propaganda portrayal of America's #1 enemy? Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for mincing, flower-wearing, jitterbugging Hitler:





Wow. Kids, maybe you'd better ask your grandparents about this one. (And no, I can't explain the green armbands, either...)

Or ask Mel Brooks...



Yes, I know the original was better...but who can resist John Barrowman??

(ahem) "Effeminate" Hitler was from a story in Smash Comics #43 (1943), written and drawn by Fred Guardineer. As to what this story was about, who the hero was, and the history of one of the more remarkable comic characters you've never heard of...well, tune in tomorrow!!

Did this somehow inspire Chris Kattan?

Referring to anything Chris Kattan has done is "inspired" is a stretch...
